Overview
- The House voted 237–140 to shelve Rep. Al Green’s privileged impeachment resolution, with 23 Democrats joining Republicans and 47 Democrats voting present.
- Green’s two articles accused President Trump of calling for the execution of six Democratic lawmakers and of threatening judges, allegations he framed as abuses of power.
- By making the measure privileged, Green forced a floor decision within two legislative days, but Republicans moved to table it, ending consideration.
- The margin reflected a shift from June, when a similar Green effort was tabled by a much wider margin, indicating modest movement within the Democratic caucus.
- Separate impeachment filings this week targeted HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, though analysts say such efforts are unlikely to advance in a GOP-controlled Congress.
